At 1h15 from Bordeaux and 4h15 from Paris by train, go back in time in Dordogne-Périgord.
At the heart of the senses and the emotions, all eras of human civilization can be discovered here, from prehistory to the present day. To explore the Dordogne Valley is to experience a festival of sensations, but it is also to experience the pleasure of cultivating oneself by discovering unmissable or more confidential sites.
The diversity of its natural, cultural (parietal, medieval, artisanal) and gastronomic heritage generates a unique art of living, conducive both to discovery and leisure, and to rejuvenation.
Come and visit Brantôme, the Venice of Périgord, and its abbey. Discover the arts and crafts in Nontron and its famous knives. Fill up on nature on the paths of the Périgord Limousin Regional Natural Park. Périgueux, the capital of Périgord, reveals its 2000 years of history to you : Saint-Front Cathedral, Vésonne tower, Gallo-Roman museum Vésunna, mansions… On the greenway cycle route, on foot, by bike, you can enjoy at your own pace the landscapes of the Isle valley and its heritage.
Exceptional prehistoric sites are to be discovered in this valley of the Vézère. The Montignac-Lascaux International Center for Cave Art, which has just opened its doors, the Rouffignac cave, the Cro-Magnon shelter in Eyzies de Tayac, the Roque Saint-Christophe… but also some of the 1001 castles of Périgord like Hautefort, Losse or Commarque. Come walk in the footsteps of our ancestors.
This destination is also a great playground for outdoor activities to be practiced in the Auvézère gorges (canoeing, cycling, hiking, gold digger, water ski lift, etc…).
Gourmet tours around truffles, foie gras or apple. From Neuvic caviar to strawberries from the Pays de Vergt, tasty adventures await you.
